Where is the Visual Flight Rule Holdline located relative to the runway edge?

• A. On the runway edge
• B. Located 50 ft from the edge
• C. Located 100 ft from the runway edge
• D. 200 ft from the edge

Answer: (C)

A Visual Flight Rule Holdline marks the boundary where VFR traffic on a taxiway must stop and wait for clearance before entering or crossing an active runway. It is placed at a fixed distance from the runway edge to provide a safety buffer and a clear sight line for pilots and ATC. The standard distance is 100 feet from the runway edge, which gives enough clearance to prevent runway incursions while keeping the taxi route reasonably short. So the holdline is located 100 feet from the runway edge.
